MONIQUE: (used to it) It���s Monique. In this session, we will be focusing on movement. Dance students, please step forward. (Megan and another student step forward to the same position. Megan elbows Kid 1.) KID 1: Ouch! MEGAN: (prissy) Excuse me, that���s my spot. Center stage! First position, everyone! (Does ballet first position and all imitate.) And left arm, and right arm, and stretch. And lift up and down . . . tummies tucked, heads up, and reach! nl MONIQUE: y BRICKLEBEE: (laughs) A little sense of competition���finally. Now you���re on track, kids! ie w O BRICKLEBEE: (back to announcer voice looking at imaginary camera) As the kids work on their physical fitness, it brings up a good point. What you look like matters. In order to become a star, you need to look a certain way, and if you don���t? Well, you may as well give up. And that���s the ���word of the day.��� (grins) k Well, it���s true that the world tells us we have to look a certain way, but we���ve been learning that���s actually the opposite of what really matters. re v ZACH: BRICKLEBEE: (shocked) Opposite of what really matters? Zach is right. The Bible says while man looks at the outside, what is most important is what is inside, in our hearts. rP MONIQUE: BRICKLEBEE: Listen . . . Yes? Fo MONIQUE: BRICKLEBEE: (beat) If that���s really true, Moe Moe, then why have I been sucking in my stomach since 1987? JUDAH: Yo, bro. I do not know. (posing) Word. Optional Dialogue if incorporating kids with special needs SAMI: My sister is the kindest person I know, and she doesn���t look like people in magazines. She has Down syndrome [or other special need]. MONIQUE: That���s a good example of how God made us all different. I bet your sister has gifts God has given her that other people don���t, right? SAMI: She���s the happiest person I know. MONIQUE: What a perfect example of how each of our gifts may not look like other people���s on the outside, but it���s what���s inside that counts!
